Regalado, whose research expertise includes sports and culture, was a 1994 Smithsonian Faculty fellow and has studied the Japanese American community, particularly the role of baseball in the advancement of cultural bridges over the generations. Regalado’s material comes from his research manuscript tentatively titled “Japanese American Baseball: From the Meiji to the Majors,” a study of the Nikkei community and its relationship to the national pastime as it encountered nativism, incarceration during World War II, and identity in its post-war experience.
In addition to doing extensive research on Japanese American communities and their baseball teams and players, Regalado serves as a scholarly advisor to the National Japanese American Museum.
Author of Viva Baseball! Latin Major Leaguers and their Special Hunger, Regalado has served as a guest and advisor on several national network documentaries, including the award-winning PBS “American Experience” broadcast “Roberto Clemente.” Author of nearly 40 essay and scholarly journal publications, Regalado has co-edited a book on Mexican Americans and sports and is a co-author of a forthcoming textbook titled “Latins in Sport (Human Kinetics).”
